May 22, 23, and 24 in 2009 Beaver Valley May Days is being held May 22, 23, and 24 in 2009, and is bigger and better than ever. Activities take place all over Fruitvale, including the parks and the downtown area. Friday night the festivities begin at Haines Park with the Citizen of the Year Award, followed by a spectacular fireworks display after dark.

Train Rides will be available for the eighth year. The route starts at the pole yard near the Farmers' Market and takes passengers on a 30-minute ride to the bridge overlooking Beaver Falls and back. Check out the large Market while waiting to board the train! This year community parade starts at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. There are numerous displays, children's activities and a Slo-pitch Tournament taking place in area parks. The Steve Ferguson Memorial Little League Tournament is played in McInnes Park. As part of the Beaver Valley May Days Streetfest Celebration, we are hosting a talent showcase and invite all who are interested to participate. Click here for more info and to register!

Beaver Valley May Days is organized entirely by volunteers who are dedicated to providing a fun weekend in the Beaver Valley as a thank you to the community for supporting volunteer groups throughout the year. All activities are priced on a cost-recovery basis with any revenues in excess of costs providing honourariums to non-profit volunteer groups that participate.
